Patent Images
1. An egress support system comprising:
- an input operably connected to receive occupant detection data, threat detection data, or a combination thereof;
an egress controller operably connected to the input and including an optimization algorithm and a prediction model, wherein the egress controller executes the optimization algorithm to select an optimal egress route based on model-based estimates generated by the prediction model in response to the detection data; and
an output operably connected to communicate the optimal egress route selected by the optimization algorithm.

Abstract
A model-based egress support system (10) employs models to generate an optimal egress route for occupants in a region. The system includes an egress controller (16) that is connected to receive detection data. The egress controller (16) executes an optimization algorithm (22) to select an egress route based on model-based egress estimates generated by an egress prediction model (18) in response to the detection data.
